League City’s Five Corners Realignment - October Update

In an effort to keep our readers up-to-date on news about the Five Corners Realignment Project, in League City, Brockway Realty reports the following October update:

The City of League City, City Manager Mark Rohr – City Manager’s Update, October 28::

“Work on the Five Corners project is moving forward. Building demolition and relocation of the electric utility were completed last month.

Removal of old power lines and the relocation of any remaining utilities are expected to occur throughout the next few weeks. The city will relocate water lines in late November through early December prior to TxDOT taking control of the right-of-way.

Successful right-of-way acquisition and franchise utility relocation allowed the city to petition TxDOT to accelerate the bid opening to January, which TxDOT has approved.  Construction is expected to begin a few months after bid opening.”

Excerpts from The Houston Chronicle, “Preliminary work begins on Five Corners fix”, by Flori Meeks, October 24, 2016:

“Total project costs are estimated at nearly $9 million, which includes approximately $5 million for the six land acquisitions made by the city. TxDOT will pay about $1.9 million of the $2.8 million construction cost.” …

“(City Manager) Rohr says the current congestion at Five Corners can be attributed, at least in part, to the steady growth in League City, which has been gaining about 1,000 homes a year. League City is nearing a population of 103,000. That number is projected to exceed 200,000 within the next 20 to 30 years.

The Five Corners project is included in League City's "Roadmap to the Future," which identifies short-term, mid-term and long-term goals for the city. It also serves as a report cards of sorts for residents, who will be able to monitor the city's progress. The document was presented to City Council in February 2015.

As of August 2016, 64 percent of the short-term goals, 70 percent of the mid-term goals and 50 percent of the long-term ones were underway, the city reports. Along with transportation improvements, Roadmap to the Future identifies downtown revitalization as one of its key short-term goals.”

Brockway Realty has published the following blogs about the Five Corners Project: “Five Corners” Public Meeting Set for Thursday, July 23rd , July 22, 2015;  Residents Anticipate Less Congestion at the “Five Corners”, August 8, 2016; Updates Announced About the “Five Corners” Realignment in League City , August 19, 2016:  League City’s “Five Corners” Construction Begins with Demolition , September 21, 2016.

Two Bay Area Cities Rank High in WalletHub’s Report

WalletHub recently published a national report about “2016’s Fastest Growing Cities”. A total of 515 United States cities were reviewed and analyzed on key indicators of rapid economic growth. These cities were classified as Large, Mid, and Small sized. The report’s data set (from a period 2009 to 2015) ranges from ‘population growth’ to ‘unemployment rate decrease’ and ‘growth in regional GDP (Gross domestic product) per capita’.

“In order to identify the most rapidly growing local economies, WalletHub’s analysts compared 515 cities of varying population sizes based on two key dimensions, including “Sociodemographics” and “Jobs & Economy.” They evaluated those categories using 14 relevant metrics; each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with 100 representing optimal economic growth.”* For more information about this methodology visit the WalletHub website.*


The report ranked the following Bay Area cities within the top 15 of their given categories:
League City ranked #1 in the Small City category, and was given an Overall Rank of #2;
Pearland ranked #13 in the Midsize City category, and was given an Overall Rank of #19.
